However, in the second half of the game, Harden scored just 4 points and the Mavericks won it 47:34.
“Of course, they didn’t have two great players, but Harden is an amazing basketball player, it’s very difficult to stop him,” Dončičius said. “We did a great job in the second half of the game.”
“Yeah, they didn’t have some superstars, but stopping them in the second half of the game at 18-16 is a great achievement,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said of the defense in the third and fourth quarters.
“We don’t feel our feet in the second half of the game,” Harden said.
